PACKAGE-TIE.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Dec. 10, 1907.

Application filed December 6. 1906. Serial No. 346.611.

T 0 all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, ORMOND S. WHITE, a citizen of g the United States,residing at Wilkes-Barre, in the county of Luzerne and State ofPennsylvania, have invented certain new and useful Improvements inPackage- Ties; and I do declare the following to be a full, clear, andexact description of the invention, suchas will enable others skilled inthe art to which it appertains to make and use the same.

This invention relates to an improved package or shawl tie.

The object of the invention is to provide a shawl or package tie whichissimple in construction, cheap to manufacture, and which may be quicklyapplied, and when applied will not slip or become unfastened.

In the accompanying drawings,Figure 1 represents a perspective view of apackage with this improved tie applied; Fig. 2 represents-a perspectiveview of the tie detached; and Fig. 3 represents a side elevation of apackage with this improved tie applied, showing one cord only connectedtherewith.

In the embodiment illustrated, a package 1 is secured by this improvedtying device 2. The tying device 2 consists of the usual approximatelyU-shaped bail 3, composed of stiff wire, having a gripping portion. 4,preferably made straight and provided with a loosely-mounted hand-grip 5of wood or other suitable material. The ends of this bail 3 are coiledto form upright, packageengaging and cord-clamping members 6, 7, thecoils being arranged parallel with the side members or legs, as 8, ofthe bail but at right angles to the-plane common to said latter members,with the peripheries thereof adapted to engage the package to which itis i Y applied. The arrangement of the coils at right angles to thehandle permits the cord or cords to be passed around the package atright angles to the hand grip, thereby form ing a reliable tie,- and onewhich may be quickly applied. l

A cord, as 10, is preferably secured to each coil 6 and 7, and whensecuring the package, the bail is placed thereon with the peripheries ofthe vertically-disposed coils bearing on the package and each cord 10 isthen passed transversely around the package or at right angles to thebail, then drawn between the coils and then again passed around thepackage and drawn into the coils a second time, whereby it is tightlyheld.

' 15 is attached at one end to one of the coils, for instance, the coil6, then passed transversely around the package, then drawn into the coil6, then passed diagonally across the package and drawn into the othercoil 7, then passed transversely around the package again and againdrawn into the coil 7.

I claim as my invention,- A package tie composed of an approximatelyU-shaped bail having its ends bent to said bail and at right angles tothe plane of said bail, and flexible binding elements attached to saidcoils at one end and with their other ends adapted to engage the coils.

In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand in presence of twosubscribing witnesses.
